Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) is the exciting and financially rewarding career path where professionals buy and grow existing small businesses. For individuals with business skills and a desire to make a meaningful impact, this path is significantly less risky than starting new businesses around unproven product or service ideas. The ETA career path is taken by many very financially successful individuals, but is not well known.
The course:
- will introduce ETA and cover how to search for, value, finance, and grow small business acquisitions
- will be a blend of lectures, case studies, and talks by entrepreneurs and acquisition professionals who share their real-world experiences
- is only one of thirteen ETA courses offered globally
- is open to all majors from across campus (senior standing and graduate students) – no background in finance is required
